SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation, as directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–541), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas a requiring special protection. The regulations establish such a permit system to designate Antarctic Specially Protected Areas. Description of Permit Modification Requested: The Foundation issued a permit (ACA 2015–011) to Dr. Ari Friedlaender on December 3, 2014. The issued permit allows the applicant to collect skin and blubber biopsy samples of humpback, Antarctic minke, killer, and Arnoux’s beaked whales as well as photo ID takes of the aforementioned species, and satellite tag deployment on humpback whales. Now the applicant proposes a modification to the permit to increase the number of satellite tag deployments on humpbacks from 10 to 20 tags, and requests to add 10 dart tag takes and 20 suction cup tag takes for both humpbacks and Antarctic minke whales. These takes would be covered by NMFS permits 14809 and NMFS 14856–01.
